The American Bar Association is moving forward with an inquiry into whether the expulsion of ex-Mormons by Brigham Young University J. Reuben Clark Law School violates ABA accreditation standards.

Brad Levin, a law graduate and director of FreeBYU—the alumni group that filed a complaint with the ABA’s Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar in January—was informed by letter on April 6 that the complaint survived an initial review by ABA administrators and has been referred to the organization’s accreditation committee for consideration.
